there has been no real cuts to the pentagon. there just hasn't been the hope or desire increase is in spending so therefore if we didn't get the increase in spending we will -- so that's where we are. now, it -- out of a $600 billion budget, imagine let the common sense and just smart thinking that we could save 5% to 7% to 8% of that and the answer is absolutely. the military base around the world or in my home state, there isn't an officer, general officer or private that i've talked to that doesn't agree you could cut 10% out of the areas of their responsibility. well, if that's the case, why are we not doing it? why are we not taking those ideas and getting them filtered? you know, i'd also remind you that we put forward before the break an audit the pentagon bill, because one of the biggest problems in the pentagon is they have no idea where they're spending their money. if you can't account for it, you can't measure it, you can't manage it. so we need to do a lot of work in the pentagon. i have -- i am a budget hawk but i

. >> the thing that was so strange to hear today was to watch the pentagon insist to reporters that there's nothing they know of that's untoward besides flirtation revealed in the e-mails between kelley and general allen. allen has had an absolutely star crossed tenure in afghanistan. he had scandal after scandal from the bails attacks that left 16 innocents dead to the koran burnings, to images coming out of marines urinating on a dead taliban militant, and he's been able to level with a lot of us in the press about the progress not really being as rapid as he would like and you see this happen to have allen swept up in all of this was kind of cataclysmic at the pentagon. a lot of us went to sleep thinking it was a scandal about general petraeus and then suddenly allen is involved in it. it was absolutely surreal. >> and richard, one of the things that happened over the years, petraeus has been glorified by the media, it is not something i felt capable of contributing to since i don't know anything about the military, never having spent a day in it but that doesn't inhibit other reporters
